WatchI don’t know how I haven’t seen this before! Zach Galifianakis and his interview show “Between Two Ferns.” (The ones with Natalie Portman, Bradley Cooper and John Hamm are also quite funny.)
The Taming of the Women. →
Great article on a decade long trend many are beginning to notice. Women in film are shrill, uptight, neurotic and always cured of their neuroses by becoming an object of male desire, the only thing that ultimately provides these ‘heroines’ with a comprehensive sense of self or self worth.

1979 music video from Off the Wall… ugh he is so handsome here before he started mutilating the crap out of his face! If I had a time machine, I would go back to 1979 Michael Jackson, tell him he had a beautiful nose, and give him a hug. I bet that could have prevented his descent into sad/madness.
I love this. →
I’m not usually into this kind of thing, but this made me melt a little. Or a lottle.

Awesome. →
WatchThis honestly had me in tears. Will Ferrell is truly a funny, funny man. It reminds me of the golden days of yore, when Ferrell would make Fallon laugh on SNL. Blue Oyster Cult anyone?
A+ Will Ferrell. Take that haters.
WatchZach Morris on Jimmy Fallon!
